Title: Draft
Post by: SPIKER on June 13, 2006, 10:38:42 AM
I don’t think the draft effect is calculated correctly, When I’m one of 15 planes in a row chasing 1 spitfire, I should be able to overtake more quickly reaching the speed of sound.

  When the guys at AH  make this correction maybe they can also install a horn!

He must be a NASCAR fan, I think there should be a snappy Conga drum beat sound effect for the ever present Conga line.

I'm not even going to touch the "drafting" scenario. I'll leave that to the less tactful members of the BBS.

You aren't going to reach the speed of sound no matter what you do.
Consider that the speed of sound is about 740mph or so at sea level on a standard day (29.92 @ 15C).

There just isn't an aircraft capable of doing this in AH.  This is a WWII era combat/flight simulation.

sorry to burst yer bubble.

As an aside, if you are one of a 15 ship conga line chasing down a lone spitty, what did he do? Mess with yer sister or something?

Title: 5th
Post by: SPIKER on June 13, 2006, 01:24:30 PM
I tip my wing down one day and see a train of planes behind one spitfire and say “hmm must be something to this”.  So I bank over and climb in behind the last guy in this airborne rollercoaster.  
  Finding out quickly that drafting is not an option in AH,  I concentrate not on the bogey but the guy I’m behind, working my up to about the 5th position when out the blue somebody swoops down and takes the joy from the leader of the pack.  Then by the time all of the fuselage parts fly past the other 4 pilots…

Bingo I get the proxy!  

  So when you catch yourself in that train and you see my spitfire fly through your dashboard (because AH does not allow rubbin) you’ll know I not fighting for the kill but the 5th position.

I'm not a physisist and correct me if I'm wrong, but in the real world, while behind a car you will find a clean pocket of air (called a slipstrem) which, if entered will drag you along smoothly, behind a prop driven aircraft, you will only find turbulence which should have the opposite effect.

How about fuzzy pink slippers?

This is a serious game...errr...flight simulation and it would be foolish to wear fuzzy pink slippers.  I prefer a sensible pair of pumps.

I see 15 guys in a Conga line behind a Spit and think of it as rightful punishment for the Spit dweeb. ;)

Ehhhhh, I already have fuzzy white slippers on, doc.    Got a problem with that?

fuzzy white is better than pink but not by much.  I do like Drediock's thigh high idea, it answers the problem of leg shaving which would be just gay.

i tried this last night in a spit. i was out of ammo and chasing a n1k so i rammed him from behind to "loosen him up" with hope of him spinning out and hitting a tree or something. didn't work though, i crashed in a great ball of fire.   :noid

If Chuck Norris even entered the arena it would be so destabilizing that the arena would shut down. I'd asume even the other HTC server would have severe complications.
I heard that dust storms in the midwest were proven to be caused by Chuck kicking in the womb before birth.
